, NONLREFILLABLE BOTTLE. n

y Application ined october 1, ieosf serial No. 455,773.

Be it known that I, CARL A. ANDERsoN,

i. rasubject of Sweden, residing at Vista Grand, in. the countyJ of San Mateo and State-of California, have invented new and use'ful Improvements in N on-Reillable Bottles, of

j which the following is a specification.

f 'tles.

My invention relates tov non-reiillable botpractical bottle, and stopple attachment f therefor, by which the contents of the bottle y rthis rbottle is preferabl screw-threaded, or.

l so

may be readily removed, but which willv eiiectually prevent the refilling of the bottle yafter it is once emptied.

The invention .consists of the parts and ithe construction and combination of. parts as hereinafter more fully described and claimed, having reference 'to the accompanying drawings, in which"v ,l

Figure l is a sectional view of theinven? tion. Fig. 2 is a perspective of the valve'.

' l Fig. 3 is a section online X-X. Fig. 4 is a section on line Y-Y.

l A represents a bottle Lor'container of any suitable size, shape'and inaterial, to whic the invention is applicable. The .neck of otherwise provided Wit means for allowing the insertion of the sto ple member or lug 2 into it and the securlng of thestopp e to be locked .therein I prefer to screw the plug into the neck of the bottle, and to provide the periphery of the plug orstopple Awith a spring latch or equivalent means, as

3, engaging in a specially provided recess 4 in the neck of the bottle. Thus, While the stopple can be easily .screwedinto place in the neck, and made to seatdwn on a-shoulder 5 inside the neck, the moment the latch 3 engages in the notch 4, the stopplev is pre- I vented from ever being removed.

` is preferably triangular in cross-section, as

The stopple may he made of glass`,porce lain, or any other suitable material, and is chambered out to provide a central outlet passage 6 communicating with ports 7 which extend at each side of a bridge 8 which shown in Fig. 1.l l,.The. ports T converge again to a central passage 9 which opens into a valve chamber 10 wherein 'a valve ymember 11 isslidable. This valvemember 11 is referably rectangular, and it is transverse y grooved on top, as shown at..12, vcorrespondingly with the side groovesgl in the side walls ofthe valve chamber 10. The

Its object is to provide a simple, cheap,

' bottom of the valve Iis preferably concaved seat being screwed or otherwise secured into the lower endof the stopple. The grooves 13 in the side walls of the valve chamber.

terminate'at the top of the valve seating rin and the valve is adapted to it into a -soc et in the seat, so that when the valve is resting on the seat` 14 no liquid can pass vdown through the various channels and ports'in the stopple and enter the bottle.

In o eration, the bottle is'iirst `filled, and thent e stopple., which has the valve and valve seating ring 14 first assembled in position", is screwed into the neck of the bottle, or otherwise permanently anchored therein.y The orifice 6 may then be closed by a cork 16 or other suitable seal.

To empty. the contents of the bottle, it is only necessary to yremove the cork 16 and invert'thebottle, whereupon the liquidwvill flow out through the orice 15, down vthe side ports '13, through-'groove 12 -toorifice 9,

thence through ports 7, around the bridge 8, and outthrough theA orifice. Righting the bottle-allows the-valve 11 to fall back filits seat and prevents the bottle from. being e Having thus described my invention, what said passageway having an enlarged portion forming a rectangular valve chamber and said valve chamber havin grooves in. its opposite walls, al rectangu arpvalve sliding in said chamber, and the top' of the valve having a.y transverse groove communicating with 'thegrooves ino pos'ite walls of the valve chamber, said va v'e` having a seat in the valve chamber at the end opposite said groove.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence'oi two subscribing witnesses. A l CARL A. ANDERSON.
